ken,
<br>
<br>...my apologies, i must have misread/misunderstood your statement.
<br>
<br>...in any case, i was just wondering whether the potential for case-head problems would be ameliorated by the weatherby system of..."[t]he recessed bolt face is surrounded by the barrel, which is surrounded by the forged and machined steel receiver" (weatherby 2001 catalogue).
<br>
<br>...in other words, it seems (to a layman like me) as if a cartridge case set in a recessed bolt contained within the barrel and surrounded by the receiver ring may in fact assist in the prevention of escaping gases caused by a rupturing case head.
<br>
<br>...just wondering whether weatherby's receiver claims have any real world validity.
<br>
<br>...thanks again for your thoughts.
<br>
<br>te
